The Alex PerspectiveBut I thought all you had to do to prove you are a true Brit & defender of British culture was to hang a flag from your upstairs window.

Looks like the idiots sorry I mean "patriots" are trying to hijack my flag again for racist and fascist reasons.

At this point hanging/painting a British flag seems like getting a participation trophy. We used to save getting the flags out for achievement & recognition now any idiot seems to want one.
AlexanderUp and down the main road nearest to my home flags have been zipped tied to many of the lampposts. The Union Jack and St Georges Flag.
Patriotism and national pride or the far-right seeking to stoke up division and discontent. Depends on who you speak with.

Flying a Flag
Up and down the main road nearest to my home flags have been zipped tied to many of the lampposts. The Union Jack and St Georges Flag. Patriotism and national pride or the far-right seeking to stoke up division and discontent. Depends on who you speak with. Truth has been devalued. A means to and end with little if any intrinsic value. A moral obligation to speak with honesty and integrity seems a quaint idea these days to the ruling class. The mindset of that being okay and especially when it’s in the pursuit of personal gain and power appears to have been adopted by many.
the roamerThe Guardian's ever excellent John Harris on how the British far-right managed to appropriate the England flag (the St George's Cross) for their own dark politics, and how this enables Farage and his men to gain the trust of good people who are looking for a symbol of pride.
Can progressive culture re-kindle a spirit of democatic pride in our own country, a pride based on community not exclusion?
As everything written by John Harris, very much worth reading.
[My own take would be to see these developments in Gramscian terms as a hegemonic move by the far right: occupying cultural ground in preparation of the political takeover.]

So vandalism, graffiti, damaging public property is ok as long as you do it in the name of St. George. This is the culture Britain is supposed to be protecting, what a joke.
Anna Spanner 👩🏫🇪🇺🧪A lone female painter (you may know her) has covered up the St George crosses on the zebra crossing on the main road near my house.
Sources say everyone who stopped to talk to the painter were supportive, and four ladies on a night out guarded her in case any poppyshaggers decided to get mouthy!
Sorry no photo, I “accidentally” left my phone at home while I was out this evening. Trying to do this more, especially while doing crime.
Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈Yeah, we see your racist white flags during heightened racial tensions inflamed by Oligarch owned media.
There's no Football on, it's not St George's day, so why the sudden burst of 'patriotism?'
Check out the comments for some screaming White Victimhood, "well take down the Palestinian and Ukrainian flags" they cry.
